1.1       misho       1: Long: retry
                      2: Arg: <num>
                      3: Added: 7.12.3
                      4: Help: Retry request if transient problems occur
                      5: ---
                      6: If a transient error is returned when curl tries to perform a transfer, it
                      7: will retry this number of times before giving up. Setting the number to 0
                      8: makes curl do no retries (which is the default). Transient error means either:
                      9: a timeout, an FTP 4xx response code or an HTTP 408 or 5xx response code.
                     10: 
                     11: When curl is about to retry a transfer, it will first wait one second and then
                     12: for all forthcoming retries it will double the waiting time until it reaches
                     13: 10 minutes which then will be the delay between the rest of the retries.  By
                     14: using --retry-delay you disable this exponential backoff algorithm. See also
                     15: --retry-max-time to limit the total time allowed for retries.
                     16: 
                     17: Since curl 7.66.0, curl will comply with the Retry-After: response header if
                     18: one was present to know when to issue the next retry.
                     19: 
                     20: If this option is used several times, the last one will be used.
